The 12 inch by 12 inch size of this book is the highest resolution in which you will ever see Babylon 5. The show cannot be remastered in high definition or released on Blu-Ray because of the CGI. Remember that Babylon 5 was one of the first shows to use CGI and it was created for the standard-definition televisions of the 1990s. At an average of 6,000 frames per episode, re-creating it from scratch is prohibitively expensive.

I saw it and it's truly gorgeous. Big and beautiful. I didn't pick mine up because I really didn't want to lug a 5-pound book around the con with me. But I did look through the sample copy they had and loved it. Lots of fans were doing something really smart - getting their autographs on the slipcase. That's gonna look *great* on their coffee tables!

I don't know if they'll be available for purchase or not, but at the B5 Bingo/Stump the Editor panel, there were a few framed prints of some of the pages as prizes. My fave was of John and Delenn embracing for the last time. I didn't win at Bingo and wasn't allowed to play Stump the Editor but that would have been my chosen prize.

There's been a lot of excitement about the Babylon 5 at 20 book that was announced last month. Due to the number of people interested in pre-ordering, that's been opened up earlier than planned: http://www.cafepress.com/_b5books Books will ship by June 30.

Thanks for the heads up Jan, I just ordered mine. I really can't wait to get it.

Regarding pre-ordering the B520 book: There's been concern from some folks who don't have (or don't want) PayPal accounts. It's not terribly obvious, but you *can* pay by credit card even without an account. See this from Captain Jaclyn:http://www.babylon5scripts.com/PayPal-Workaround.htm
